On a slight side-note I'm surprised that, after all these years, no one makes an accurate 8-hole barrel-vent and stock.
Many years ago I got a quote to have a set made which was around £500 ($650) so I 'politely declined'. Of course the cost comes down a lot when multiples are ordered as the main labour would be in the setting up.

I doubt one will be justified for an airsoft rifle replica, as the best place to put the IR sensor for an Ammo counter is at the end of the barrel, and having the gap at the end of the vent makes it easier to assemble/disassemble, while keeping the replica looking somewhat authentic.
The stock is a similar problem, an adjustable stock is going to be hard to make it look like the prop wothout either not looking the same, or the stock area weighing a metric buttload.
I do wish Snow Wolf would’ve come up with a deluxe version with a shotgun/grenade launcher though, even if it only shot 50-60 feet, even if it was 2 lb. , one shot in the breach, reload each time.
